Re: August 2024 Navigation and maps update
Hi Ballywings, I find the update takes max 30 minutes, good idea to do it on a long drive as you say. It will reach 100%, then start again until 100% for a second time, finally the system starts as normal. I presume the software and maps are updated separately, hence the two cycles. You may have see...

Re: Electronic brake
The electronic handbrake only comes on automatically if you have previously selected auto-hold when you shut the car down. Auto-hold maintains the hydraulic pressure in the brakes when you stop, so you can take your foot off the brake pedal, in effect acting as an automatic handbrake (and incidental...

Re: August 2024 Navigation and maps update
Well, when it reaches 100% and then the system starts as normal. Is there something deeper in your question?

Re: 12V battery life
If you've fully discharged the 12v lead-acid battery, it has probably been damaged. It's now over 7 years old, Winter's coming, change it!

Re: Niro DashCam install
Colin is quite right in that you will fry your dashcam if you don’t use the hardwire kit, which contains a 12 to 5 volt converter.

Re: August 2024 Navigation and maps update
Not sure what you mean when you say Google maps "shows a lot more" and with Car play "no (sic) really any differences". Anyway, bringing the focus back to avoiding motorways, it is true that Google Maps has this feature. However, I'm sticking with the Kia TomTom system because I ...

Re: Warnings when using windscreen washers
No, but I would surmise that the windscreen cleaning is temporarily obscuring the cameras, excess soap?

Re: Jacking points on eNiro
I'm puzzled what you're saying here, Colin. Did the scissor jack nearly buckle because you didn't use the correct jacking point.? I've used scissor jacks for years, including the one supplied with my third-party space saver wheel for my Niro, and have never had any problems, provided the jacking poi...

August 2024 Navigation and maps update
I've just updated my 2021 Niro HEV (Mark 1) using the MY20 software option that is appropriate for my car. The lower-level navigation option AVOID MOTORWAYS has now disappeared, or else it's hidden somewhere else, beggared if I can find it, possibly one of you guys can enlighten. There are now four ...

Re: Illogical
Hi H2, I've sorted the self-folding mirrors, there is a setting I'd overlooked. (Thanks, Jus1973). Even so, why is this seemingly pointless feature an option......!
